Controller configuration and monitoring
InteliDrive sw pack contains separate PC software tools: DriveConfig (DC) and InteliMonitor (IMON).
DriveConfig and InteliMonitor is based on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Win7/Win8 or higher platform.
Direct connection to the PC
InteliDrive can be connected directly with PC via RS232 interface. Use the standard cable RS232 cable to
connect PC with InteliDrive controller.
Hint:
Make sure the grounding system on controller and PC – COM port (negative of the PC DC supply) are
identical – before the first direct connection. There must not be any voltage between these two points
otherwise the internal PTC protection activates and interrupts RS232 communication. In such case
disconnect RS232 line wait a minute for PTC recovery and try again. The simple solution is to assure, that
the PC supply 240/20V is ground free (GND terminal is not connected).
